Translation of L'amour est un fantôme from French to English
If you haven't seen me in the past few months
It's because I needed to lose myself far from you
Find my way and catch my breath
Sometimes we don't know how to love when we suffer
Love is a ghost that we must tame
It rekindles the atoms of our past wounds
It often seemed complicated to me to play
With the heaviness of the days that were imposed on me
The sky seemed austere to me, appeared opaque
I was looking for my light, my paradisiacal earth
When we feel crushed by the elements
Either we die, or we run to feel alive
Maybe my absence has already destroyed everything
If I had had the chance, I would never have left
Peace is not made without some hazards
Without some long silences, without using patience
I tasted other flames, other false fiancées
Who seemed quite banal once consumed
Impossible for me to find comparable
To your intelligence, your relentless beauty
I know that you too have looked elsewhere
In the course of your travels, have you found better?
Am I the only one to see as a magical rarity
The fusion of our bodies, our epic encounter
The promises of the morning are victims of life
They slip through our hands when night comes
But hearts remember once unified
Even if worn by the weight of months apart
If error is human, can you forgive me
For going far away to find my truth
Now I know it, yes I feel it in me
It's love that dictates me to die in your arms
If you haven't seen me in the past few months
It's because I needed to lose myself far from you
Find my way and catch my breath
Sometimes we don't know how to love when we suffer
If error is human, can you forgive me
For going far away to find my truth
Now I know it, yes I feel it in me
It's love that dictates me to die in your arms
